    in the nvidia control panel, under "adjust image settings...," tell it to use your advanced 3d settings, then go to "manage 3d settings." in this menu, the top option will let you chose a preferred graphics processor (where you will chose the nvidia card), but the recommended option is to go to the program settings tab, adding the specific programs you want to use the nvidia card, then tell it to use the nvidia card rather than auto-select. that way, when browsing and doing ordinary tasks, it will use the intel card and save battery, but with the programs u specify, it will use the nvidia card.

    hope that helps
